5.2.3 Service Provisioning Intervals

The time required to provision the service (i.e., the period between the application date and the service date) is known as the service interval. Such intervals will be established in accordance with published interval guidelines and where possible, will reflect the customer's requested service date.

Schedules that specify installation intervals will also specify the services and quantities of the services that can be provided as specified in Section 5.2.3.1(B) and (C). SWBT will adhere to the intervals as specified in Section 5.3.2(C) (1), except during circumstances beyond its direct control (i.e., acts of God, governmental requirements, work stoppages and civil commotions).

A schedule of intervals applicable for Expanded Interconnection is located in SWBT's Technical Publication for Expanded Interconnection. SWBT's intervals for equipment are subject to equipment availability from the manufacturer and the published intervals will be adhered to except:

- During circumstances beyond its direct control (i.e., acts of

God, governmental requirements, work stoppages and civil commotions), and

- When an interconnector designates equipment that is not used by

SWBT to provision its other access services and SWBT must, therefore, first obtain training regarding the installation, maintenance and administration of the equipment designated as well as obtain the equipment itself.

Access Services will be installed during SWBT business days. If a customer requests that installation be done outside of normally scheduled work hours, and SWBT agrees to this request, the customer will be subject to applicable charges described in 13.2 (Additional Labor).

SBC will review the requested change and notify the customer whether the change is a design change, if it can be accommodated and if a new service date is required. If a change of service date is required, the Service Date Change Charge described in (B) following will also apply.

The Design Change Charge will apply on a per access order per occurrence basis for each access order requiring a design change. Design Change Charges are specified in 5.4 (Rates and Charges).

B. Service Date Change Charge/Dispatch Charge

1. A customer may request a change in the access order service date

for the installation of new services or rearrangements of existing services provided the new service date is not more than 45 calendar days beyond the original service date. When such a request is made, SBC will accordingly delay the start of service and a Service Date Change Charge will apply. The application date will not change as a result of a service date change.

If a design change has been requested as described in (A) preceding, and the engineering review cannot be completed within the 45 calendar day timeframe, the new service date may need to exceed the original service date by more than 45 calendar days. If such a service date change is necessary to accommodate a customer requested design change, both the Service Date Change Charge and the Design Change Charge apply.

In all other cases, if the customer requests a service date which exceeds the allowable service date change period previously described, the order must be cancelled by the customer. The customer must issue a new order specifying the desired service date if Access Service is still required.

2. A new service date may be established that is prior to the original

service date if SBC determines it can accommodate the customer's request without delaying service dates for orders of other customers. If the service date is changed to an earlier date, and SBC determines that additional labor or extraordinary costs are necessary to meet the earlier service date requested by the customer, the customer will be notified by SBC that an Expedited Order Charge, as specified in (C) following, applies. The Expedited Order Charge is in addition to the Service Date Change Charge.

3. Failure to notify, as noted below, SBC prior to the original
